Throwback Thursday: Historical Edition #36

What is Throwback Thursday?
Traditionally, Throwback Thursday celebrates nostalgia, asking participants to post a personal photo or an image from their past -- usually from 5 to 10 years ago. There are a lot of book blogs that also do a book-related Throwback Thursday.

The Historical Romance Edition:
Since Mary of Buried Under Romance and I are unapologetic lovers of historical romances, we've decided to focus on our beloved genre.

Here are our rules:
1. It must be posted on a Thursday.
2. It must be a historical romance novel published before October 3, 2008.

A woman who wants to know what she's been missing ... A man perfectly suited to train her ... Christie Kelley weaves a scintillating novel of one rapturous night of ecstasy ...

A Woman Yearning For A Taste Of The Forbidden ...

At twenty-six, aspiring novelist Avis Copley intends to wear spinsterhood as a badge of honor. But when she discovers a volume of erotica that ignites a searing fire within her, Avis realizes just how much she doesn't know about the actual pleasures of the flesh. Determined to learn more, she devises a daring plan ...

A Man Ready To Teach Her Much, Much More ...

Avis chooses Emory Billingsworth, a fellow novelist --not to mention a beautiful specimen of manhood -- to instruct her in carnal pleasure. But when the brash Earl of Selby, Banning Talbot, a man she has known for years, unearths Avis' true intentions, he claims she's made a dangerously bad choice. Volunteering his services for one wicked night of reckless, abandoned passion, Banning promises he will satisfy all of her deepest longings. Yet Banning cannot begin to imagine the effect his willful, voluptuous, and very eager student will have on him -- or how far an innocent lesson in desire can go ...

This is the first book in one of my favourite series of all time: Christie Kelley's Spinster Club series. (Just reading through the blurb makes me remember the wonderful group of Elizabeth, Avis, Jennette, Victoria, and Sophie (she's my favourite) ... and makes me want to reread this series again! (Or I should start on her new Wise Woman series? ^_^)
